<p>The invention relates to methods and devices in a mobile communications system (10) for accessing a wireless local area network (WLAN; 30, 40). For instance, a method in a mobile station (12) is described, comprising the following steps: searching for available WLANs (30, 40) by means of a WLAN module (26) implemented in the mobile station (12); communicating information about the available WLANs (30, 40) found in the previous step to an administration unit (52) configured to provide WLAN access data for a plurality of WLANs; receiving WLAN access data for at least one of the available WLANs (30, 40) for which information was sent to the administration unit (52) in the previous step; and accessing one of the available WLANs (30, 40) using the WLAN access data provided by the administration unit (52). Preferably, the mobile station (12) can communicate with the administration unit (52) via a cellular communications network (50) operated by a mobile network operator (MNO). This allows the MNO to remotely manage the WLAN access data that is available on the mobile station (12) by means of the administration unit (52) and, thus, to which available WLANs (30, 40) the mobile station (12) can attach.</p> |
